| While sources tell Save Pleasure Island Blog that 4th of July weekend was relatively dead around Disney Springs, such was not the case this past weekend and in particular last night during my visit. Pedestrian traffic was elbow-to-elbow throughout the development! |
 |
| One choke-point is the narrow No. 2 Bridge which had crossing times exceeding 30-seconds last night. |
 |
| With backups beyond Sprinkles, Pandora and Trophy Room! |
 |
Part of the delay can be attributed to the No. 1 Bridge between Paddlefish & T-Rex Cafe being closed, making the other bridges the only access.
Another crowd over at the Waterside Stage.

| And more over on the West Side! Not seeing a lot of shopping bags though. What I did see was a lot of Walt Disney World bags, used at all the Disney owned & operated stores, and Lego store bags. But not a lot of others. |
 |
| Coca-Cola is open including the rooftop bar with a lot of people there. Cone on out and see this all for yourself! |

I am seeing the same thing. Lots of people, very few shopping bags, and store's already advertising "Discounts" food and beverage revenue eem to be up, always folks eating and waiting for tables... but the shopping.. the shopping does seem to be a FAIL at this point.
I still think Erwin Pearl Jewelry will be the first casualty as I never see anyone in there. And of the new new stores, no one in the pricey Edward Beiner eyeglasses store either.
Should there be a "count down to.... fail" timer put up with a running store name list?
No, we won't do that. I don't think that Disney will let anyone fail for the first couple years. By that I mean, rent forgiveness could be utilized indefinitely in order to keep a current business operational. But when I see a business that never has a customer in it, you got to wonder how that business can pay the rent.
